Would you say renown physicist Stephen Hawking isn't smart. He "just remembers" things he's studied in school. Also he's a paraplegic so I suppose that means he's limited like Kim Peek.
If I gave a blind man a written test- would he be labeled as unintelligent because he couldn't conform to the test I provided him? Yes HE DOES have opinions and discussion/debates about political views,

Kim Peek - Smartest man / possible Jeopardy champ/YES he can reason- he has debates!

Autistic savant Kim Peek. Perhaps the world's smartest man of recent years. I'm sure he could have easily been the all time Jeopardy champion. He had political opinions on immigration and other issues.
Just commenting to make it an even 300 comments.
Total. Recall.
“Over 200 boxes of books stored on his brain’s hard drive” - What a weird a meaningless way to quantify it. How many books are in a box? 50? 100? 1000? Why not just say roughly how many books? But that aside, Kim Peek was a superhuman. He was utterly incredible.
Wow man, what an amazing Video! Thank you vewy vewy much. Liebe grüße an frau wessolleck. 😊😊
I need this guy as my wing man .. kim where did I put my keys, wheres my car, where do I work again, whats your name again? ...yup thats me.
damn, I stan this man
The Matrix is real.
How did anyone downvote this?
The most mind blowing part was him dropping a They Might Be Giants reference while talking about Rembrandt
its actually an old song by the four lads
Love how he always breaks out into song
Interesting! If he had learned piano as a child maybe he would have been like Derek Paravicini.
What an inspiration, you see girls, these are the guys you should go for.
Borderline-retarded men?
This man was amazing!
THIS SUPER BRAINER CAN REMEMBER NINETY EIGHT PERCENT OF EVERY 12000 BOOKS HE READ

RandomRoulette Yes, he has trouble with maths but still has a brilliant talent.
Rip
Wikipedia should be hire him to fix the wrong information.
yeah, i know it. Sorry to hear that.
Phineas Gage He died in 1999, I believe, from a heart attack. His dad who cared for him.full time also died later, from what I can recall it was 5 years later in 2004.
@@wingsofsteel8666 He actually died on December 19, 2009 of a heart attack in Salt Lake City, Utah. His father died 4 years later on April 15, 2014.
Does anyone know what doc. this is from
Some people seem to have the wrong idea with regards to what constitutes intelligence. The word intelligent is derived from the Latin _intellego_ which means to understand, comprehend or realise. Kim had an IQ of 87 which is a low-average score. In the documentary "The Real Rain Man" it becomes apparent through various tests that he had difficulty in tasks that involved new thinking and could not understand metaphor. In spite of his incredible memory he had great difficulty with reasoning. For example, he would have found it easy to recite passages from Einstein's Theory of Relativity but not actually understand the science and mathematics behind it. That doesn't take anything away from him though. He was still an incredible person who fought to overcome his adversity and ended up living a great life. Much of this was thanks to the love, kindness and great dedication of his father Fran. RIP Kim
PrimeM92 also IQ tests are bullshit there are sorten ways of intelligences
So, having perfect pitch and doing instant calendar calculations is based on memory? uuhuh.. sure.
+FruitGod Correct. It is only his memory at work. He remembers calender dates by memory and remembers music pitch by memory, too. Look him up - that's exactly what he does. Did you even watch the video? It even states it right at the beginning: he memorizes 98.7% of everything he reads. _That_ is how he did what he did. _That_ is why he was good at what he did.
lol "remembers calendar dates by memory" It's silly to say he remembered every day of the week for every date. Any bio of him will say that he did calendar calculations, which is a known savant ability. Think about what you are saying before typing it in a comment. Perfect pitch is not based on memory.
he's not smart. He had an amazing memory, that's all.
that is the definition of an autistic savant. they have mental disability with some skills that are extraordinary. specfically with kim his corpus Colossum the piece of brain anatomy that lets both hemispheres of the cerebrum communicate is virtually non existent. it is hard to do many taks without this peice. what makes him remarkable is the hemispheres themselves are very well developed.
babyswithrabies You didn't have to paraphrase parts of the documentary.
this is irrelevant. the person i was replying too acted like he had stumbled upon some profound realization, when in reality the fact kim is disabled apart from his exceptional recall ability is a textbook definition of being an autistic savant. the case studies of Kim peak have been around long before this documentary. and even so the fact the documentary has much of this information makes it no less factual.
babyswithrabies that was me, and I didnt act like i stumbled upon a realization: its a given.
it's redundant of you to say...he's an autistic savant they said that. all he has is one exemplary skill.
His father is much more wonderful than him.
...Fuck you.
I would pay to see him live a month with the guy with a 30 seconds memory.
Unfortunately he is dead.
not gym...
eyes dont see in framerates....

not really the smartest man, but the most knowledgeable man probably. a big difference
He was not the smartest man, far from it, but he had a massive memory bank due to his condition. He was a sevant of extrodinary proportions but lacked in any cognitive capabilities beyond memorization. A true prodigy.
The retina does not take pictures
reminds me of Mr. Tyson, a gentleman at my workplace
He must have got a+ in all subjects
Oh my god can you imaging if he went on Jeopardy lol
actually, the human eyes take 24.3 pictures every second. also, we do use all of our brain!
Denid Correct, the myth that humans only use 10percent of their brain was a gross misquote from Einstein. We actually use all of our brain and this guy most likely acquired this skill due to the brain being required to "rewire" itself so as to accommodate it's abnormality (according to scientists).
He would have failed on Jeopardy, he wouldn't be able to answer in the form of a question.
JettaGeorge Interesting, I never considered that.
Yeah but now come to think of it he didn't have great motor skills so maybe that was why he isn't play more
You're absolutely right!!!!!1
Imagine if they could actually make it so normal humans could just remember 50% of what he could. Its so sad it comes at such a high price for him :(
Are you kidding me? This guy has perfect pitch too!!! He could be like a virtuoso of unknown proportions, why didn't he play more?
16 people are jealous of his superpower
he memorize but he doesn't reason
i dont think they will let him in its practicly giving him the money
dude your reasoning is crazy. If our eyes are perfect then why do people have to wear glasses? Put the bible down and please educate yourself. Thank you
I'm no shrink, but I think this guy is misunderstood. He might be a super genius, but he is so socially awkward that he can't tell people that those IQ tests are bullshit.
Excatly. We always use a good portion of our brain, it's just how all the sections are connected and working together that allow people like Kim Peek to happen.
also, the "10 pictures per second" is BS as well. The human eye doesn't see in FPS like cameras do. It reacts to light - in tests, it was shown that humans could recognize a light flashed for 1/300th of a second in a dark room. In a light, you won't even notice if it goes dark for 1/100th of a second.
Yup magic man in the sky gotcha. Flawless logic.
It took the piano teacher 1 minute to know that he knew a lot. It took Kim Peek 1 seconds to know her whole life
If he went on Jeopardy he would be a trillionaire since the winner goes on to the next show
Rest in Peace
Yeah. Their was an experiment where half the brain was removed and the subject was able to function normally, but the brain's plasticity caused him to make connections like in Kim Peek's case.
Yes, very nice, True. Though the misconception itself is a misconception. While we use all of our brain to all its area, in similar way you might throw all your belongings across an entire room to make use of the space, people actually only use varying degrees of fractions of their available brain processes at one time, like you may only want to actively care about one part or area of your room at a time. Hence people like this or in synesthesia w/ merging and simultaneous use of greater areas
Unfortunately, he passed December 19, 2009
